If I'm not mistaken, BIND puts a 3 hour ceiling on this value. That  
is, when named returns a negative response, the TTL of the negative  
response is set to be no more than 3 hours.

Of course, MS DNS, acting as a resolver, has been known to get  
confused and use the real TTL of the SOA record instead.
